The primary goal of Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch is to find permanent and loving environments for animals in need. If you are interested in offering your home, and/or recruiting others to consider adoption, JARR would love to assist you in finding the right animal for you!

A large, golden bundle of love, this ten year old husky shepherd mix just plain wants to be pals. He likes everybody, has the best possible manners at home or out and about. Cats? No problem. Other dogs? Ditto, would even love to live with one (or more) for the company. Kids? sure! His eyesight isn't great, but he's smart, and figures things out with amazing speed and good humor. A fabulous friend.

French is the language of love, they say. And this guy is proof positive. A French Mastiff, Logan brings you a hundred pounds of pure amour. Just closing in on two years old, this sweet guy likes everyone: people, dogs, and he is being tutored by a dog-savvy cat. He is crate trained, in the bargain. Logan does have hip issues, and will need to keep to a special diet.

Sweetness personified is this shy but loving three year old. Marvin loves humans and other dogs, and would probably like a feline companion too. He's all about love, a bit cautious, but eager to win your heart. Sometimes the best things DO come in small (eleven pound) packages!

He's just about to hit his first birthday, and this big, goofy, handsome kid is full of enthusiasm for just about everything. He loves other dogs and kids. He loves all kinds of humans. He loves doing just about anything. He's got crate training down pat, and is making fine progress on leash and house manners. A terrific family pet, for sure.

This handsome guy, all sixty five pounds of him, is, well, sort of an intellectual. He thinks about stuff, and he enjoys learning new things -- at the moment, he's working on playing fetch and proper leash manners. At six years old, he enjoys other dogs, but really prefers his humans. Cats might be OK as sidekicks.

This adorable three month old has lots of love and spunk to offer her new family --- she's an olympic-level cuddler, loves other dogs, and yes, even cats! A bit wobbly with her back legs, she's making great progress with physical therapy. And she's nonstop on the devotion front.

The perfect name for this lovely and lovable three year old girl. She's about sixty pounds of full time affection, along with exquisite house manners and experience living with other dogs and children. Cats? An unknown, probably not. But everyone else? Jewel is ready to make your day!

Question: is there a weight limit on being a lap dog? Well, in Houston's view, no. At least for him, weighing in at sixty pounds of complete and total love. He's a bit over a year old, just wants to be with humans, any time, any way. Sweet and trusting, this lovely lab mix would be ideal for a family of any size, with kids a bit on the grown up side.

This little guy, as the phrase goes, "has it all." He's charming, handsome, and all grown up. At eight, he's got the good manners of an adult (including proper at home etiquette) but he still has a happy-go-lucky youthful style and a definite willingness to go on walks or whatever adventure you might have in mind. The "you" being his humans. Jojo feels that it's time for him to be, as the phrase goes, "top," or "only" dog!

This delightful little girl is just over a year old, and a full 50 pounds of love. A tough start in life has not dimmed her enthusiasm for the world in general. She's ready for friends to love and play with. A bit fearful, especially with men, she will gain confidence in a patient family, and loves other dogs. She's house and crate trained, might steal a shoe, but will sit and shake to talk it over with you.

She's about nine years old, and about fifty pounds of enthusiasm for human company. Nancy is working on her basic house manners, but she's a very quick study so no fears on that score, and she already has some tricks up her sleeve (er, fur), like a most excellent "sit!" She is crate trained, doesn't demand a lot of exercise but does love to cuddle. With humans. Nancy wants to be the one and only.

Vanna is 2-3 years old and weighs a sleek 50 pounds. After more than a year in a difficult shelter system, she started to shut down. She is now doing very well in foster care, learning a new, exciting routine! She is house and crate trained. She is dog selective and doesn't want to share her home with other pets, so Vanna would need to be an only pet. She is easy to walk and would make a great running partner! She has a lot to say and will charm you with her sweet demeanor.

"Velcro" figures in any description of this delightful three year old girl and her enjoyment of people. At about 50 pounds of enthusiastic attachment to her human (or humans), along with an easygoing smile, great manners and a genuine (and gentle) affection for all other dogs, Heidi is house trained and just plain loves doing anything her people want to do. Which includes walks, talks, reading, TV watching, and of course the occasional nap.

Define fun? A belly rub, and then another belly rub -- that's THE best as far as this delightful spunky twelve year old is concerned. But then there's walks, hanging out with human or dog pals, snoozing in the sun. And then a belly rub, yes?

This handsome and well-behaved nine year old guy is ready for the good life. And as Karl defines it, that includes playing, rolling around, hanging out with humans and other dogs. Cats and children, not so much. Karl is the strong silent type, with, by the way, perfect house manners.

Eighty pounds of easygoing, good-natured love can be yours with this handsome mastiff- lab mix. Chance is about six, has all the necessary manners down pat, loves people and other dogs for visits, but would rather be the "one and only" for his humans when at home.

At somewhere near ten years old, Constance is proof positive that "senior" ladies rock. She's sweet and very people-oriented. She is diabetic, but with insulin she's a lively lady, with a play style any puppy would envy. In addition to humans, she is fine with other canines. Laps, excellent. Walks with the pack, equally excellent. A great companion.

As far as Sandy's concerned, it's a dog's life, IF it involves fetch, walks, car rides, any kind of water sports with her humans and maybe some other reasonably-sized dogs. This smart and independent-minded girl is about four years old, and a trim sixty pounds. Perfect for an active family, without any annoying small dogs or, gasp, cats!

Petite, elegant, curious and friendly, Olive is a young lady ready to take over your heart. She's just over one and a half years old, and is beautiful to the core. Being FIV positive, she will need to be a permanently indoor kitten -- all the better for snuggling with you on the sofa with a good book.

This ten year old beauty is a perfect example of serene and therapeutic friendship. She loves everyone, has a quiet grace and elegance, and is the ideal companion for reading, snoozing, TV watching. She is FIV positive, so she needs to be a permanent resident of the great indoors.

This guy knows no strangers. You're just a friend he hasn't met yet. He's seven, handsome, trim, and totally committed to human interaction. Easy with other cats. A perfect gentleman, just lookin' for love. And giving it back.

The name says it all. He's handsome, confident, charming, easygoing and ready to handle whatever life has to offer. A big guy, Marvel is, at about five, totally in prime time. A fabulous pal, just waiting for his new home.

In her time at Ella's this shy AND affectionate nine year old has discovered that life with humans is indeed good! And even those other silly cats. Tabitha will need patience and a quiet home, but add her to those ingredients and you have a lifetime of love!

You have to meet this sweet nine year old to appreciate her total wonderfulness. She's a refugee from hard living and is slow to warm to new companions. HOWEVER -- once she settles in (to a quiet home), this lovely girl will reward you with endless affection. Did we mention wonderfulness?

Sweet, sassy in the best possible way, and sleek -- Yerg is good looking and good company. She is a bit on the shy side, not overly fond of aggressive "other cats," but will easily win center stage in her future human's heart.

You would NOT know that this delightful and spry girl is ten. She does have a grown-up approach to life: she knows how to get along with other cats, but really, truly prefers to be her person's one and only. As you can see, snuggling is definitely part of her day. As is good conversation, perhaps a movie or a good book, or a sunny window. Violet is on thyroid medication, which she accepts MOST graciously.

Not exactly Greta Garbo, but this gorgeous seven year old lady does prefer to be alone. Except for human company, of course. Camille has lived with other cats, but will seek out her people before hanging out with the feline gang. That said, she is sweetness personified, with elegant manners, to match her splendid fur coat.

He's five, he's a big guy, he's all about the love. Oh, and he's soooo good lookin' ! Beans is a people pleaser, for sure. And don't let his size fool you, he can take down a toy mouse in no time at all! A great companion for whatever you have in mind.

See that cat toy? Well, in Castiel's view, you ought to be waving it around for him. A nonstop goofball, Castiel is nine months of fun, and a refugee from the Houston storms, with his brother Harvey. He's all play, all the time, and is learning the ropes with new humans. He would be happiest in a new home with his brother, but if not that, at least one with some other cats playmates.

Handsome Harvey, brother of Castiel, is a lovely nine month old rescued from Houston. He loves to play with all manner of cat toys, and is still getting used to his new home. He would be happiest if adopted with his brother, but if not, would really benefit from a home with other cats in it.

What's not to love about a debonair, laid-back orange tiger guy who just LOVES laps? This six year old character will win anyone's heart in an instant. And his deep rumbling purr is sure to chase the blues away. An only cat most of his life, Zachy has shown great tolerance for others at Ella's but what he loves best is human company.

The language buffs say her name means adorable. Accurate indeed! Moonka has ten years of life experience to her credit, and she has used it well. She loves to play and hang out with her human(s), and has exquisite house manners (claws out only for the official scratcher, not the chairs, not the carpets). Yard monitoring from a window is great, but her favorite thing is human company. Other critters? She definitely needs to be The Only Cat.

He's a Savannah Cat! Think roaming the wilds of Africa, not Georgia. About nine years old and full of love, Klepster can handle other dogs and cats just fine. He needs patient humans, and will reward them with boundless friendship.

Such a cat! Personality, wit, charm and good looks all in one place. This confident ten year old guy has the play style of a teenager, and is always on the lookout for someone to mix it up with (preferable human, preferably adult, but his roomie Shiloh might be OK). He lacks front claws, so it's the indoor life for him -- you won't find a better pal for whatever comes to mind.

Elegant, serene, affectionate -- this twelve year old girl is all these and more. She loves the company of one or a few grown up humans, enjoys being groomed, snuggling together, and the occasional excursion into the back yard to hunt for lizards. Manners to match her name -- and she never scratches the furniture! Best as an only pet, or perhaps with a laid-back feline pal, she is the perfect forever feline.

Sweet and petite, this charming six year old will reward just a bit of patience with affection, playfulness and curiosity. She is quite fond of treats, and quite fond of any form of quiet attention. And quite willing to make your home her own!

Looks and personality -- the perfect combination, that's this handsome eight year old Napa native. Smudge has simple needs: a lap, a belly rub and a lifetime of love. He's an "at home" guy, would like to be the center of your universe, but might enjoy making friends with a calm small dog or some easygoing children.

Handsome, quiet, sweet and loving -- these are just a few of the stellar qualities of Bobbie, a seven year old charmer. He is a loving companion in every sense. Quite shy at first, he will reward a loving and patient human or two with a life of happy times and endless affection.

This full-figured, seven year old Maine Coon beauty has a personality you just have to meet. Great conversationalist, loves to play with just about anything, and has a foot fetish (in the best possible way). Moya can handle other cats and dogs, but really prefers to be center stage. She does NOT love being picked up, but is otherwise the best possible pal.

This lovely young lady (about five years old) is beautiful and bashful. Sweet and shy, will grow in confidence with lots of adult affection, and ample amounts of lap time. Love is hers to give in large measure, all she needs is time and reassurance.

This five year old beauty will track you down for love and affection. And by "you" she means one or a few humans, not boisterous, and preferably no sharing your attention with other cats. A room with a view, an available human, lap and grooming time, and a bit of play -- that's Momo's recipe for success.

This handsome five year old guy is the ideal pal -- mellow, outgoing, friendly, tolerant of dogs, smaller humans and other cats. Oh, and handsome. While not fond of being carried around, he likes hanging out with his humans, appreciates a good back rub and the opportunity to sit side-by-side, contemplating life.

This lovely lady is looking for a calm and quiet home. She is very affectionate, but needs a tender and patient human to help her personality shine. Beautiful and all grown up at about eight years old, she would be a wonderful companion for an equally "all grown up" human or two.

At 14, this lovely lady has acquired the perfect balance of serenity and gentle curiosity about her world. She loves being with her human(s), chatting about world events or lounging together in the sunshine. Or enjoying some head and tummy rubs. Comfortable with dogs and tolerant of other cats, she would still prefer to be the "one and only." A beautiful best furry friend (forever!).

We received a call from Petaluma Animal Services in early January about a pig they had found wandering not far from a slaughterhouse. JARR stepped in to help! This beautiful snaggletooth girl had escaped slaughter and run for her freedom, so we called her "Freedom," to celebrate he success. Erica Rushing at Flat Broke Farm us fostering her for us. Freedom is a wonderful character, full of personality, loveliness and grace personified. Because of her special qualities, not tot mention her inviting smile, we have decided to anoint Freedom as JARR's Ambassador Animal.
